no sorry (is already late), first reading then writing. puffball sure, from the picture seems he the langermannia gigantea (http://www.google.nl/search?um=1&hl=nl&safe=off&biw=1108&bih=576&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=langermannia+gigantea&oq=langerman&aq=0L&aqi=g-L1&aql=&gs_sm=c&gs_upl=13499l16208l0l19706l9l9l0l2l2l0l210l1059l2.2.3l7l0) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langermannia_Gigantea) to be, but the size of an orange, can be more species. maybe still a gigantea but a little one,or a very big juvenile bovista nigrenscens. but i still think more: the L.gigantea
